10 Wrestling Attires You Totally Forgot Famous WWE Stars Wore

From the aborted to the just plain random, these ideas didn't last long.

Every now and then, pro wrestling companies like to try different things with their performers. In a way, it makes perfect sense to shake things up, because it represents a fresh opportunity to help get that wrestler over in a new way, or aid their transition into playing a new character. More often than not, it works, but there are of course those times where it definitely does not. Costumes obviously play a huge part in any new gimmick, because something visual is usually the first thing presented to the audience, before a performer is even able to talk or wrestle a match. It's therefore important that these aesthetics are excellent, because they can go a long way to making or breaking a push, helping or destroying how the wrestler is received by fans. Ring attire is crucial, especially in WWE. In today's world, high-definition television means that costumes must be flawless - WWE have one of the best design departments in the entire industry, and outfits are normally the best of quality. A lot of deliberation and time is given to new designs, but sometimes there have been questionable decisions. Worse yet, those choices reflect badly on some of the biggest performers. This list looks at 10 different wrestling attires which a lot of people have likely forgotten, either because they weren't around all that long, or they were just so horrendous that fans couldn't wait to see the back of them.
